Pros

Arcosa spun off from Trinity Industries in November of 2018 and has since been slowly adapting the culture to a more modern approach. Senior leadership is competent and well respected by those within the organization. Additionally they are willing to admit their areas of opportunity and change approaches as necessary. The company comes with a lot of experience from the more seasoned employees and yet still creates a voice for newer and younger team members to offer their suggestions and enact change.

Cons

There are still indications of a workforce that is overworked, specifically at the plants. Production often takes precedent over the well-being of those performing the job. Additionally, while everyone has a voice in Arcosa, leadership can at times be passive.

Pros

Arcosa has made some great strides since they split from Trinity. The people are good and it has a small company feel without having to worry about the company not being stable. Great career advancement opportunities. The upper management is great. The CEO really listens to the people and wants the people to succeed.

Cons

There is still a lot of changes needed after the transition. The benefits have a long ways to go to be competitive with other companies.
